This is basically the same post you wrote here last time, and we're probably going to enter the same conversation.pnjguy wrote:Pretty genius by Pearl Jam Inc.
Make these songs bigger than they're actually by giving the songs their own artwork, and revealing them in a manner that also makes them bigger than they actually are. The songs might still suck but at least they're a part of the piece of art they can hide behind. I don't think this bodes well for the actual music being good.

I assume Heathen is running his query for picture uploads, no?

Regardless of how you feel about the artwork for Backspacer, they're basically using the same strategy they used in 2009. I don't remember each reveal being so in depth though.pnjguy wrote:Pretty genius by Pearl Jam Inc.

Re: Lightning Bolt -- guess the tracks!
That's right. And then when you found them all you were rewarded with the SOS demo. I remember not partaking in the treasure hunt and just checking RM randomly to see what was found.harmless wrote:There was a treasure hunt for the images.LooseGroove927 wrote:Regardless of how you feel about the artwork for Backspacer, they're basically using the same strategy they used in 2009.

They're just trying to stay ahead of Heathen, who's probably safe-cracking right now.LooseGroove927 wrote:Nothing, just checked. They're slacking todayDr. Van Nostrand wrote:anything been tweeted yet?

While I would love to see Of The Earth on this album, according to this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pearl_Jam_(album) wiki, the song was one of twelve outtakes from the Avocado Album.

So they replaced Cold Confession, Let it Ride and Of The Earth with Inside Job, Army Reserve and Big Wave.

I prefer Gone actually, but OK, we can have Army Reserve and get rid of Gone.Dr. Van Nostrand wrote:im good with Army Reserve, Excellent song, but Gone, that one shouldnt have been put over top of one of those 3 songsharmless wrote:So they replaced Cold Confession, Let it Ride and Of The Earth with Inside Job, Army Reserve and Big Wave.

I think Inside Job is great for an album ending. That solo, the chorus, really dark / strong atmosphere. I don't care about Big Wave.
